Memorials of four old families

49
2. Marion or Minnie, married Captain Maclachlan, Killinochinock, of
the Argyll Fenciblcs.
3. Neil, married Captain Colin Maclachlan, Auchagerran, of the
Regiment, and afterwards of the Argyll Fencibles.
4. Mary, married Finlay M'Dougall at Cruachan, by whom she had
sons, Donald and Coll.
5. Catherine, married Alexander Campbell of the Kilmartin family :
she used to speak of having had four brothers present at
Waterloo: all their names are to be found in the Army List for
1815.
Captain John M'Dougall, father of the above, was the representative
of the old family of Raray and Ardmaddy in Nether Lorn, one of whom
built the old castle of Ardmaddy. About the middle of the 17th century
Ardmaddy seems to have passed into the hands of the A rgyll family (the
Marquis' second son was designed Lord Neil Campbell of Ardmaddy), and
soon afterwards from them to the Breadalbane family. Long afterwards
an attempt was made by Captain M'Dougall and his son, Coll, to recover
the lost estates, but, as the title deeds were supposed to have been burnt or
destroyed, they gave it up.
Captain M'Dougall served in the army, probably either in the old 78th
(afterwards the 72nd) or in the old 98th or Argyllshire Regiment (there
was a Captain M'Dougafl in the latter in 1795) : his brother, Alexander,
was a Lieutenant in the 72nd in 1786 and in 1795. Captain M'Dougall
afterwards practised as a doctor at Fort-William.
The Retours of Special Service for Argyllshire, show that John
M'Dougall of Ragray was served heir to Allan M'Dougall of Ragray, his
father (in ammo redditu) in an annual rent of 300 merks of the lands of
Ballegown, in the lordship of Lorn ; and in another of 100 pounds of the 4
merk lands of Knipach in said lordship, 19th April, 1617 ; and again that
John M'Dougall of Ragray was served heir to Alexander M'Dougall, his
brother, in an annual rent of 100 merks out of the 6 merk lands of old
extent of Dowacha, in Lome ; of another of 100 merks out of the same ; of
another 70 merks out of the same, and in an annual rent of £83 6s 8d of
the before named 6 merk lands of Dowacha, April 19, 1617.
In the Dunstaffnage Inventory I found mention of John M'Dougall of
Raray as follows, viz., " Renunciation of John M'Dougall of Raray, son and
heir to the deceased Allan M'Dougall of Raray, in favour of Dougall Camp-
bell Og, and heir of the late Dougall Campbell of Stronchorumaig, of the
lands of Knipach (4 merk lands) in the lordship of Lome, and £1000 affect-
ing the same, for which the said Dougall Campbell, sen., was bound by
marriage contract, 10th June, 1599, betwixt Duncan M'Dougall of Dunolly
